2004 in Retrospect
First off, I want to wish everyone a wonderful new years experience that hopefully comes without a hangover in the morning! Everyone be safe, and make sure it's a memorable time
Secondly, I want to give my personal view of the year.
2004 was a HUGE year for me. 2003 was such a wild year, and 2004 was a good year to bring all of that to an end. I started 2004 on a very negative note. I was tired, broken, and worn before it even began, and I definitely started the year on a sour note. However, my attitude quickly changed in Mid-January and February when I was BLESSED to have the chance to go to UK for surgery. I know that before that experience, and even during it, I wasn't the best of people to be around. I hope that none of you take my attitudes or actions during that time to heart, and I'm not one for excuses, but there were extenuating circumstances, and I hope that you understand. After that experience, and even some during it, I was lucky enough to find Andy, and not only have a great boyfriend, but also a good friend. He's not the only person I've had this year- for all of you that stood by my side during this time in my life, I want to thank you for that. After months of feeling SO bad and down in the dumps, it was great to have you all around to let me know that I DID have a good group of friends to fall back on- that means more than you will ever know. Other than that, the year was just an experience of complete total personal growth. I have learned a lot about life, people, and myself. I feel that I am a better person now, and I want to thank you all for being part of this growth.
Thirdly, I want to thank certain people (In no distinct order)
FGC: I want to thank you all for your support. There were times this year when a smile was hard to come by, and you all were definitely a great help in brightening many days! I know some of you missed the votemobile's maiden voyage, but you were all there in spirit, and hopefully in the coming year, we will be lucky enough to spend more time together! I LOVE YOU ALL (more than I weigh :D)
4th FLOOR GIRLIES: It's really hard for me to live on that floor without a lot of you there, but somehow I manage... in my room... alone :( ! Anyhow, I'm so glad to still have so many of you in my life. We DEFINITELY had some great times on that floor, and I'm sure we still have many great times to come as friends! Ohh how I miss the pitter patter of midget feet, and the amount of cow print that surrounded me two years ago!! At least I still have Megan's tigger and Tracy's insane decorations to keep it somewhat normal! LOVE YOU GUYS!
777y 5i551e: Another year, more craziness! I love you girlie, and I hope you know that- even if you are away from me you crazy red headed biatch! Thank you so much for reintroducing me to Huntington. I will miss our nights creating purses and posters... I guess we'll have that again next election season! I love you my sissle! I'm so proud of you and your B dot A dot!!!
Niki: I love you so big! You don't know how proud you make me, or how much I love you, but I promise you that it's more than you hate the dentist! I know this hasn't been the easiest year for you either, but you've come through with flying colors, and I'm sure that it won't be long until you're back in Huntington with me, but at least we have the weekends! I love you oodles :)
JMa: I know you've had a rough time this year, but I know all will work itself out sooner or later. We haven't spent a lot of time together this year, but I hope you know that I'm here for ya when and if you should ever need someone to listen to. Never forget the visit from the captain at work. ANytime homie! I <3 ya
